You guys gave me a bunch of advice on where to stop to eat in Flagstaff, how hard the trail is out to Point Sublime, and which offroad routes to try out in Moab, and for that I am eternally grateful! I could not have felt more prepared for this trip, and every adventure along the way was a fun time for the family and a great experience.

Thank you guys! This community is by the far the most adventurous, knowledgeable, and gracious of any out there.

Here is the preview video and I'll post the other videos as a reply:

I am no pro at making these videos... it was a learning process putting these together. So any feedback on how future installments can be better would be great. One step I have taken since this trip is to get a 3-axis gimbal and I am in the market for a DJI. Subscribe for more stuff like this coming up! And a comment or thumbs up on YouTube tells google that this content is worth suggesting to others.

I hope you enjoy!

The petroglphys are a little harder to spot here.

Sat, 10 Feb 2018 03:40:20 GMTWe've had such a mild winter, I decided to take my family out West and enjoy the good weather. We did a historical route to the Japanese Internment Camp just west of Delta Utah, then along the old Highway 6&50 through Marjum Pass to a Hermit's Cabin, and then to a spring in the shadow of the Home Range mountains that would make an excellent camping spot.

This is an easy trail, but take safety precautions as this is the desert with no cell coverage, it's 140 miles round trip from Delta to Delta (for fuel), but you'll need more if you do this as a 1-way by-way on your way to Great Basin National Park.

Here is my review video with a bit more history and obviously pictures, videos, and the GPS coordinates for the major intersections and features:

This was yesterday. More of an on-road adventure given the weather. Ventured to the neighboring county to take my son to his friend's house. It was a little icy and snowy. But surprisingly, the PW really well. Only once did I put it into 4WL. And that was on a road which hadn't been plowed, and had already had a fair amount of traffic, creating some murder ice slush.

This was a quick ride out into a field on our property with a really cool abandoned house up on the hill.

Sun, 04 Feb 2018 15:22:09 GMTI have been to the Big Bend, Texas area several times. The first time, I din't like it that much. It was brown everywhere. I went the second time because it was somewhere to ride in the winter. I was able to look past the brown and see some things. I was hooked now. I went again, and again, and again. Now I want to live there. Is that crazy or what?

I have to admit that I did't take this picture. It doesn't matter. I love pictures of me. This one is from my first visit to Big Bend in 2010. My friend Big Don snapped the pic.

I went back in 2012. Big Don was supposed to lead our ride, but he had to go home because of family issues. I'm not sure how I got to be leader, but it didn't go well for others.

I went back in 2013, this time with my wifey. She loved it .

2017 was different. We were retired. We stayed longer. We added a jeep.

2018 was the bestest yet. It was all jeeping. I have lots of pics to share. Here is the first one. We went out to DOM rock on New Years Day. It was cold and the wind was blowing. We were still having fun.

More to come.
